HC Deb 21 February 1966 vol 725 c41W
Mr. Ian Lloyd

asked the President of the Board of Trade whether his Department will take steps, through the United Nations as well as by direct bilateral negotiations, to simplify customs procedures affecting the shipment of goods in containers in transit for third countries.

Mr. Mason

The United Kingdom is taking part in the international consideration of this problem which began recently under the aegis of a working party of the United Nations Economic Commission for Europe.
